To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CALVIN BREWER, a citizen of the United States,residing at T0- peka, in the county of Shawnee, State of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Anvil, Vise,and Drill; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention is a machine designed for use, principally, by thoseemployed in metal working shops where small machine parts, etc., are tobe manufactured and the primary object of the invention is to provide amachine embodying a number of devices which are to be employed inperforming various kinds of work. In other words I have in view theprovision of a machine which may be employed in a number of differentoperations any one of which would necessitate the use of a separate anddistinct implement or machine.-

I have embodied in my machine an anvil, a

vise, and a drill and have found that with the provision of theseseveral devices, but very little work is required to be done by anyother machine considering of course that the Work is of ordinarycharacter. These several elements of the machine have been so arrangedthat the machine is very compact and simple in its construction and themanner of arranging these elements and their construction to permit ofsuch arrangement involves a number of features which I believe to be newin the art to which the machine relates. One of these features residesin the provision, in connection with the feed for the drill shaft andthe crank for operating the shaft, of a means whereby the drill shaftand the feed may be connected for simultaneous actuation by merelyturning the crank of the said shaft. This construction is very useful,as will be readily appreciated, in boring articles or parts which aremade of lead or other soft metal or articles of material other thanmetal such as wood, bone or the like, for the reason that the boringoperation may be performed much more rapidly and without the necessityof operating the drill shaft and feed separately which of courserequires the employment of both hands.

Another one of the features mentioned above resides in the provision ofa readily detachable work rest and a detachable pipe engaging jaw foruse in conjunction with one of the vise elements or jaws of the machine.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of themachine showing the relation of parts when the machine is used as adrill, Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through themachine set up for this use, Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectionalview taken intermediate the fixed drill shaft support or bearing and theadjustable anvil and looking in the direction of the drill shaftsupport, Fig. 4. is a similar view but looking in the oppositedirection, Fig. 5 is a similar view but taken through the drill shaftsupport, Fig. 6 is a top plan view, Fig. 7 is an end view showing themanner of connecting the drill shaft and feed for simultaneousoperation, Fig. 8 is a detail vertical sectional view through a portionof the anvil showing the manner of attaching the pipe holding jawthereto, and, Fig. 9 is a vertical transverse sectional view takensubstantially centrally through the anvil and showing the means forholding the anvil in adjusted position. Fig. 10 is a front elevation in'detail of the pipe jaw used in connection'with the machine.

As shown in the drawings, the machine comprises a base plate 10 securedupon theupper face of which at each end thereof is a cleat 11 thesecleats being extended transversely of the said plate 10. Blocks 12 arealso secured upon the upper face of the base plate 10 and these blocksare spaced from each other and are located intermediate the cleats 11.Secured and supported upon the cleats 11 and the blocks 12 and extendinglongitudinally of the base plate 10 and in parallel relation are twostrips 13 which are preferably of wood and secured by means of screws14. to each of these strips 13 is a strip 15 of bar metal which is "ofgreater Width than the corresponding strip 13 and has its inner edge, orin other words that edge which is presented in the direction of theother strip 15, extended to lie .beyond the inner face of thecorresponding block 13. The purpose of these strips 13 will be presentlyexplained.

In my invention, as heretofore stated, there is embodied an anvil andthis anvil is substantially identical in construction with the ordinaryanvil including a base 16 and a egual to the distance of the opposinginner e ges of the two strips 15 and extend between said edges and serveto guide the anvil while being adjusted. A clamping plate 20 has engagedthrough it a bolt 21, this bolt being also engaged through the baseportion 16 of the anvil and being provided with a nut 22 which may betightened to cause the side edges of the plate to have aclamping actionagainst the corresponding under-sides of the inner edges of the strips15, the said edges of the strips being clamped between the said edges ofthe plate and the under side of the anvil base. From the foregoing itwill be understood that the anvil may be moved longitudinally of thebase plate 10 or in other words in a line with the strips 15 and may beheld at any desired adjustment. The body of the anvil is provided withan opening 23 which opens through its upper face and in which may beseated the shanl 24 of a nail or wire cutting blade 25 such as isusually employed in connection with an anvil of this character, and inorder that the anvil may form one jaw of a vise, one end of the body ofthe anvil is serrated as at 26.

A bearing is fixed upon the two strips 15 at one of their ends by meansof bolts 27 which are passed through the base or attaching portion 28 ofa bearing and this bearing includes an integral upstanding body 29through which is formed a threaded bore 30 for the passage of a threadedfeed sleeve shaft 31; This feed shaft is provided at its upper end witha head 32 which is approximately circular in form and which has itsperiphery provided with a number of concavities which form finger holdsand permit of ready rotation of the feed shaft. The body 29 of thebearing afore mentioned is slotted as at 33 longitudinally in a plane below the bore 30 and slidably engaged in this slot is the shank 34 of ajaw 35 which aw is formed with an overhanging head 36 which has one ofits faces serrated and presented in opposition to the serrated end face26 of the anvil, it being understood that the anvil and this jaw 35 formthe vise of the machine in conjunction with the means for feeding thejaw 35 which means resides in the threaded feed shaft 31. This shaft 3 1is held in connected relation with respect to the jaw 35 by means of adrill shaft 38 which is engaged through the said sleeve shaft 31 and hasfixed to its end which opposes the anvil, a drill chuck 39, there beinga crank handle 40 fixed upon the opposite end of the shaft directlyoutwardly of the head 32 upon the feed shaft 31.

From the foregoing description of my machine it will be understood thatin order to utilize the same as a vise it is only necessary to adjustthe anvil a roper distance from the shiftable jaw 35, tie jaw at thetime of such adjustment being moved to position against the adjacent endof the bearing 29 and after placing the article to be clamped betweenthe said jaw and the serrated end of the anvil, to rotate the feed shaftand feed the jaw 35 in the direction of the anvil. This rotation of theshaft may be had either by grasping the head 32 or by inserting in anopening 41 provided through the said head a pin 42 against which thecrank'handle 40 abuts which permits of the crank handle being utilizedas a means for rotating the shaft, it being understood that in thislatter method of operation, a greater leverage is had and consequentlythe article may be more firmly clamped.

It will be understood of course that the serrated end face of the anviland the j aw 35 are adapted only for the purpose of clamping flat workand in order that the machine may be used as a vise for clamping roundwork such as pipes ,etc., I have provided a supplemental aw which may bereadily attached to the anvil. This jaw is indicated by the numeral 43and is formed with a V- shaped face 44 provided at its side edges withserrated portions 45 and upon the rear face of the jaw is formed a stud46 which is to be inserted into an opening 47 formed in the end of thebody of the anvil, and also with a lug 48 which, when the stud is soinserted, overlaps the upper face of the anvil body and serves to holdthe said supplemental jaw firmly in proper position for use.

, WVhen this jaw 43 is in proper position upon the anvil, the apex ofits V will be directly in a line with the serrated face of the jaw 35and consequently a pipe or piece of round work of any size, withinreasonable limits, will be securely held within the V. p

In case the machine is used as a drill, a drill bit 49 is inserted inthe chuck 39 and a work rest, embodied in my invention, is applied tothe anvil directly in opposition to the end of the drill. This work restis in the form of a disk 50 formed integral with one face of which is astud 51 formed with an integral lug 52. This stud is adapted to beinserted in the opening 47 in the anvil and the end of the lug 52 restsagainst the end of the anvil through which this opening is formed. Thisface of the anvil is undercut as is indicatedat 53 to form anoverhangingshoulder 54 against which the lug 52 may rest to hold thework rest 50 against turning movement. The work to be operated upon isplaced against the work rest and the feed is then adjusted to bring theend or point of the bit against the work after which the drill shaft isrotated by means of the crank handle 40 and the feed shaft at the sametime properly fed with the left hand. One of the principal features ofthe invention lies in the fact that in case the work to be operated uponis of soft lead, wood, or other soft material, the pin heretoforedescribed is inserted in the opening in the head 32 0f the feed shaftand t e feed and drill shafts simultaneously rotated through theinstrumentality of the crank handle. This, it will be readilyunderstood, permits of'the work being more quickly com leted than if thetwo shafts were operatec independently which of course is necessarywhere the Work is of steel or other extremely hard metal. When not inuse, this pin is to be removed from the head and inserted into asuitable opening 60 formed in one of the strips 15.

From the foregoing description of my invention it will be appreciatedthat I have provided a machine which is adapted to many different usesin the Work shop and which, while very simple in construction andconsisting of but few parts, is compact and extremely useful. It willfurther be understood that I do not wish to be limited to the use of awork rest and drill shaft merely in connection with drills as bits of adifferent nature may be used equally as well.

What is claimed, is-

In a machine of the class described, in combination, a support, abearing fixed upon the support, a dri shaft adjustable in the bearingand rotatable therein, a member adjustable upon the support to and fromthe bearing, the member having its end opposing the bearing undercut toform an overhanging shoulder, and a work rest formed with a studremovably inserted in said opening and with a lug which has a bearingagainst the said end of the member.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.

CALVIN BREWER.
